Criticism is interesting. It’s one of the things that we have learned from our ancestors. When we criticize others, we are comparing them to our own morality and ideals. Criticism allows us to tell ourselves that “this is not what I want to be. I want to be something else instead.” However, we tend to overextend it. We use criticism for more than just judgment and deciding what we do or do not want to be. We have made it into something incredibly harmful, and it will bring our energy down drastically. We are always critiquing ourselves and others and holding each other to one another’s standards.
